Live Hibachi Catering in Poughkeepsie

Private Hibachi Chef in Poughkeepsie

Poughkeepsie anchors the mid-Hudson Valley — and the gatherings that happen here reflect the energy of a city that brings together Marist and Vassar communities, Hudson Valley professionals, and families who have been celebrating here for generations. Private hibachi at home in Poughkeepsie brings a certified teppanyaki chef to your property with the full setup and a live cooking performance that turns any occasion into the kind of evening your guests request at the next event.

Your chef arrives with everything: teppan grill, propane, all fresh proteins, fried rice, vegetables, house-made sauces, plates, and chopsticks. The performance runs 90–120 minutes from first flame to final plate — fire tricks, flying shrimp, and every plate cooked to order at the grill in front of your guests. For larger Poughkeepsie gatherings, dual-station capacity is available for groups of 25–60+. Full cleanup when dinner is done.

Poughkeepsie weekend events book 2–3 weeks out. Graduation season and Hudson Valley foliage weekends fill fastest. Serving Poughkeepsie and all of Dutchess County — Beacon, Hyde Park, Rhinebeck, Wappingers Falls, and surrounding communities. Starting at $60/adult, $30/child, $600 event minimum. Most quotes confirmed same day.

Vacation rental hibachi in Poughkeepsie, NY

"Rhinebeck weekend rental — 14 guests at a farmhouse on the Hudson. Did hibachi Saturday night and it completely elevated the entire weekend. Chef drove up from the city, set up on the back patio, and put on a two-hour show. We're already planning next fall."
